Benefits of an A+ School

Graduates from Trenton High School who meet the A+ requirements will be eligible for the following:
  • Tuition and general fees to a community college or public vocational/technical school of their choice in Missouri.

Students will receive this incentive from the State of Missouri, not the Trenton R-9 School District. These incentives will be made available by the State of Missouri only after the student has made a good faith effort to secure all available federal post secondary student financial assistance funds that do not require repayment. A student must be considered a full-time enrollment by the post-secondary institution and maintain a 2.5 GPA to continue receiving the incentive. Students must complete the two years or up to six semesters of full-time enrollment at a community college or public vocational/technical school within four years after graduating from Trenton High School.
